Video Otoscopy

See What Traditional Ear Exams Can Miss

Chronic and recurrent ear infections are often caused by problems deep within the ear canal that cannot always be fully evaluated with a routine examination.

Using advanced video otoscopy, we can magnify and visualize the ear canal on a screen, allowing us to identify underlying disease, assess the eardrum, locate foreign material, and guide treatment decisions with greater precision.

Our video otoscopy service is particularly valuable for pets with:

• Chronic or recurrent ear infections
• Persistent head shaking or scratching
• Ear pain or sensitivity
• Excessive wax or discharge
• Suspected foreign bodies
• Ear masses or polyps
• Narrowed or obstructed ear canals
• Cases that have failed previous treatments

What We Can Do

• Detailed examination of the ear canal and eardrum
• Removal of wax and debris under direct visualization
• Ear flushing and cleaning procedures
• Assessment for ruptured eardrums
• Collection of samples for cytology and culture
• Monitoring of chronic ear disease over time

Why It Matters

Many ear infections return because the underlying cause has never been identified. Video otoscopy allows us to look deeper, diagnose more accurately and develop a long-term management plan tailored to your pet.
